TITLE Diary Game: Better Life March 30| A Jog With My Friends
Magandang Buhay Steemians!!
Today I wanna share my day shared with my friends. I am here in Manila and unfortunately we are under GCQ. So we can't easily ride any kind of transportation. But of course for me tp get back to work I have to be fit and healthy.
So today I woke up early and went with my friends to jog. From our boarding house we had to start the jog since we can't ride any public transportation.
One of the tourist spot here in Manila is the Luneta park or Rizal Park (Filipino: Liwasang Rizal, Spanish: Parque Rizal), or simply Luneta, is a historic urban park located in Ermita, Manila, Philippines. It is considered as one of the largest urban parks in Asia, covering an area of 58 hectares (140 acres). The site on where the park is situated was originally known as Bagumbayan during the Spanish colonial period. It is adjacent to the historic Walled City of Intramuros.
Did you know that the park plays a significant role in shaping the history of the Philippines. The execution of Filipino patriot José Rizal on December 30, 1896 fanned the flames of the 1896 Philippine Revolution against the Kingdom of Spain.
This place is one of the most visited place in Manila, a lot of people enjoy the view and the ambiance in the park. Some people have picnic, jog and even go on a date here.
Now the park is well maintained and is very clean, people can really enjoy jogging here. So me and my friends spent more than an hour to jog. We enjoyed the view and exercised at the same time.
There are so many things to see and do here: the statue of Dr Jose Rizal, his actual assassination site, big pond, statues of local heroes, Chinese Garden, open auditorium, Bulova Clock, Grand Stand, etc. So if you wanna do a city tour this should be part of your list.
And remember if you visit this place now you should always wear face mask and face shield even you are going to jog. Honestly its such a hassle but still we have to follow protocol since Manila's cases of COVID are increasing. Keep safe everyone..
